Informative Notes:
1 )The applicant is advised that a banksman should be provided at all times during construction to escort any pedestrians using public footpath FPCH6 through the area and construction should stop whilst this is taking place. Banksman should also be aware of cyclists and horseriders using Campton and Chicksands Bridleway No. 4, and if construction vehicles are at work, they should be stopped to allow the public to pass along the bridleway safely.The applicant is advised that a banksman should be provided at all times during construction to escort any pedestrians using public footpath FPCH6 through the area and construction should stop whilst this is taking place.

2 )Details relating to Condition 2: Surface water drainage must follow the SuDS National Standards; National standards for sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) - GOV.UK The SuDS Team will require calculations providing evidence of all surface water retained on site for the 1 in 100 (+40%CC). Any exceedance should be shown with pathways, depths and velocity. The SuDS Team will require full drainage drawings showing all connections, control features, storage, inverts etc. The SuDS Team will require BRE365 infiltration test results There should be a minimum 1m between the base of a soakage unit and the seasonal water table. Any watercourses (this includes culverted) within or adjacent to the site should be included in the maintenance and management plan, even if there is no discharge to them. This would be a riparian ownership issue but leaving it as such is no longer acceptable. The connection of private surface water drainage systems to a highway system is not permitted. Under Central Bedfordshire Council and IDB bylaws, any watercourse within or adjoining the site boundary will maintain a 9m development free easement (on the development side), unless otherwise agreed with the relevant drainage authority. This applies to all watercourses, where water is present for all or some of the year, including those not clearly stated on mapping, topography or planning documents. Permeable block paving should be laid to CIRIA C768 'Guidance on the construction of SuDS' guidelines. This guidance also stipulates following Interlay guidance. The Council does not, and is not required to, adopt any SuDS feature. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that the surface water drainage system, in its entirety, will be effectively maintained in the long-term. We therefore expect confirmation of the proposed arrangements for maintenance to be provided with the final detailed design, including the future maintenance and operational needs and the responsible bodies for undertaking maintenance (for all public and private drainage components). The final detailed design including proposed standards of operation, construction, structural integrity and ongoing maintenance must be compliant with the 'Non-statutory technical standards for sustainable drainage systems' (March 2015, Ref: PB14308), 'Central Bedfordshire Sustainable Drainage Guidance' (Adopted April 2014, Updated May 2015), and recognised best practise including the Ciria SuDS Manual (2016, C753)Details relating to Condition 2: Surface water drainage must follow the SuDS National Standards; National standards for sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) - GOV.UK The SuDS Team will require calculations providing evidence of all surface water retained on site for the 1 in 100 (+40%CC).
